Spam

[Xellon]

Hello. I have an important question. I already know that spam is not
tolerated when using snipurl and I most appreciate that.

I am an administrator for an anime site and I used to use snipurl a
lot. I would like to use it again but if you know anything about anime
download sites, you know that many people try to report links that
were uploaded though file hosting such as megaupload or rapid share.
Its not used for spam, and a lot of anime are unlicensed making it
perfectly legal to upload them and share to others.

My question is, will you restore these files? If so, let me know. I
may provide a few links that were reported as spam when it wasn't used
as spam.

Thank You.

Sure, please write to me directly.

Spam-blocked URLs are left in the system for seven days, so please let
me know quickly. Otherwise they will be deleted automatically.

Happy snipping,

Thank you. I will let you know in the future whenever I have blocked links. Also, is there a way to tell how long it has been blocked? I don't want to bother you if its been past 7 days.

Hey gang,

Are there any known problems with certain browsers, ISPs or firewalls that
dont allow users to access URLs cloaked by SnipURLs? Occasionally, American
users cannot get to the links behind the SnipURLs I post to them. And I
havent been able to figure out the common denominator yet.

First, no URLs are cloaked by SnipURL. We do proper redirects. An end
user will see it clearly in the browser.

Second, there's no cut and dry rule. A snipped URL may have been
disabled by us because of spam being reported, which may explain why
the destination URL is not available anymore.

Or in some cases, ISPs who rely on over-zealous RBLs (relay black
lists) such as URIBL may have inadvertently disabled snipr.com from
their system. This is not technically accurate or even clever (e.g.,
see: http://groups.google.com/group/snipurl/browse_thread/thread/7f4f24c3096e8bbd)
but it's the way things are. There are many RBLs out there, including
SpamCop or SpamHaus, which do know how to treat snipr.com kind of web
services and do not blackball our domains without good reason. URIBL
is not that technically sophisticated but an ISP is only as good as
the technicians who work for it.

All this said, if you have any snip in particular that people are
unable to access, please do let us know.

Hope this helps.

Good morning,

We use Snipr links for our online plan room for a construction company in the US.  Very occasionally, a subcontractor will have problems with Snipr links, and we have found that usually its because their corporate security policy needs to add Snipr.com to their whitelist.

Other than that, we never have problems with snipr links, unless Snipr themselves are having issues.

Sorry, my bad. Redirects it is.

It's not that, because only a small minority could not access specific URLs.

Next time it happens, I'll forward the info.

Thanks for replies.
